Jason has set up a honeypot environment by creating a DMZ that has no physical or logical access to his
production network. In this honeypot, he has placed a server running Windows Active Directory. He has also
placed a Web server in the DMZ that services a number of web pages that offer visitors a chance to download
sensitive information by clicking on a button. A week later, Jason finds in his network logs how an intruder

intruder for stealing sensitive corporate information. Why will this not be viable?
